Tears For Fears - Rivers of Mercy (Official Audio)

Tears For Fears’ “Rivers of Mercy” from their album ‘The Tipping Point’.



Lyrics
Well the streets have started burning
There’s trouble in the towns
Guess the devil loves his playground, that’s for sure
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
Well to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
Till the shadows disappear

If by magic you mean the ocean
If by tragic you mean the end
We weren’t wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from heaven
Come and drown me in the infinite sea

Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah

Show me mercy, miracle waters
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung
We were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down river and float me upstream

Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah

Spinning upside down
In the wake of mighty waves
See the anger of the world
When feelings run high
When feelings are so raw
We will give in to the night

Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah

This song deserves a videoclip !!! Who agree ?

[TommyLellan]

Not used to such great new songs in 2023!

I didn't think Tears for Fears could ever write another song like "Famous Last Words" or "Woman In Chains" again, until I heard this one. It absolutely floored me. I listened to the album for the first time all the way thru, and have loved every track. All the great more Curt-centric stuff, and then this came on and blew my mind. I have never gotten such an emotional reaction to one of their songs since Famous Last Words. The context of this song, with all that is going on in the world right now, this just fits it so powerfuly! It's almost like a Gospel song. This is a new masterpiece. The whole album is excellent!

This song can only be described as 'breathtaking'.

[KP-jejt]

As a teenager in the 80's, your voices sound like home. Grateful you guys are still doing it. 😌

[meadors]

The timing of this album could not have been better.

[thegazetteyt]

This generation's 'Woman In Chains'. LOVE this album!!!

[yidneth]

The world is in turmoil... and I observe it with a half- broken heart... will we ever learn? But at least I woke up to a new album by my favourite band
to drive me through the grief, through hope and acceptance. Drop me in rivers of mercy, please

[lauries]

Curt and Roland, this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I was born the same year as both of you and have always been a very big fan. You are both so talented.

[BrownSugarGemini]

The lyrics are from a person who has been thru a lot in life, yet understands life and wants to heal others ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[elsonrodriguesdapaixaojuni]

It's a divine gift to see groups like Tears For Fears, A-HA and CIA release new albums with such beautiful music. This song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

[cattypurry]

I’ve had the CD for about 8 hours and this is the song I keep coming back to. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

[BrownSugarGemini]

At the Tipping Point Concert, Roland said “If you cry, I cry” after this song. I cried for him because it had to a lot to share his heartache thru a song. #THANKYOUTFF ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[yaseenbradley]

Nobody writes a song like Roland Orzabal he’s the king of ballads.

[thebossmans]

One of the best songs I’ve heard in years. It’s timeless

[yaseenbradley]

The whole album is “I can’t put in to words” so beautiful this track has given me tears today

[stephenmay]

This band helped save my life years ago. Thank you

[Nunavuter]

This beautiful song has grown on me. Funny how my favourite new album is from my favourite band from when I was 15 years old. I'm in my fifties now.

[educostanzo]

Wow, talk about a song being released exactly when needed.

[michca]
